Explanation:

A dictionary is a printed or online resource in which you find the words of a language alphabetically organized and information about these words including their origin, pronunciation, translation to other languages, the type of word each word is and most importantly the definition of them. Consistently, the term "dictionary entry" refers to the section in a dictionary with the information of only one word.

In the case presented this entry is composed of the word "betray"; the type of word it is "v." (Verb); the pronunciation of the word; information about the origin of it "Middle English" and two definitions of the word "to lead astray" and "to give to an enemy by treachery", this means if Tracie wants to verify the meaning of this word or is looking for the meaning the portion or section that allows her to do this is " 1. to lead astray" because in this section of the entry the meaning is provided which is exactly what Tracie is looking for; also this is the only section related to meaning as other just would tell Tracie the origin, type of words and pronunciation of "betray" which does not help her to verify the meaning.
